Ingredients Snapshot
Here’s what you’ll need to make this creamy classic:
Broccoli – Fresh or frozen, chopped into bite-sized florets
Cheddar cheese – Sharp cheddar adds bold flavor and melts beautifully
Carrots – Shredded or finely chopped for color and sweetness
Onion & garlic – The aromatic base of any good soup
Butter & flour – To create a quick roux for thickening
Milk & broth – A blend of dairy and chicken or veggie broth for a creamy, savory base
Salt, pepper, and optional spices – Nutmeg, paprika, or a dash of cayenne for extra warmth
Optional: Crusty bread or garlic toast for dipping — highly recommended.
How to Make Broccoli Cheddar Soup in 30 Minutes
1. Sauté the aromatics
In a large pot, melt butter and sauté chopped onion and garlic until softened.
2. Make the roux
Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
3. Add liquid & veggies
Gradually whisk in milk and broth. Stir in the carrots and broccoli. Simmer until veggies are tender, about 10–12 minutes.
4. Blend (optional)
For a smoother texture, blend part or all of the soup using an immersion blender. Leave some chunks for a rustic feel.
5. Add cheese & season
Turn off the heat and stir in shredded cheddar until melted. Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices to taste.
6. Serve hot
Ladle into bowls, top with extra cheese, and serve with bread or croutons.
Quick Tips for Success
Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can prevent smooth melting.
